Eshnar said:He should've attacked as soon as he discovered it... He has more than 2' to gain.
LaFlorecita said:Well I do think he isn't as strong as many think. This Vuelta vs Papy Horner and il Giro vs Uran and Cuddles. It's not that impressive. I would like to see him put the pressure on Froome though but I can't see that happening.
qwerty16 said:He won the Giro by a mile though, and could have won it by 10 minutes if he wanted. His level in the Giro was very high.
webbie146 said:Atm he is in good shape, but not as good as in the Giro that's for sure.
maxmartin said:well that is what he discovered yesterday, and AV did put a decent attack today, so he is following his plan I guess.
SafeBet said:A bad day can happen even if you're in top shape. It's been a tough weekend, maybe he's a bit sick, maybe he didn't recover well after being forced to cover so many attacks yesterday. These things happen to every gt rider. We'll see after the rest day if it's just a bad day or something missing in his form.

Descender said:Nibali's main goal might be the Worlds and all, but if that's the case and judging by what the past tells us, he should be at least very near top shape by now.
Unlinke Froome, right?maxmartin said:that makes Nibali a true champion!!!

webbie146 said:I'd like to hear Nibali's response regarding today. Interesting to hear whether he bonked, cracked, just had a bad day in general etc..
maxmartin said:be patient my friend, I am sure Italian newspaper will dig out something![]()
webbie146 said:Yea true, I looked on the Astana site but there's no stage summary yet.
Edit: Now there is:
"It was a very difficult finish, and with wind in the last 2k I thought I would do better, but it was just really difficult," Nibali said.
"The last three days have been hard, and the whole team has been working every stage to control the race. We spent a lot of energy when we had to and tomorrow is a rest day, so we will see - the climbs in the next week are just as hard, but more to my style of riding, and the weight of wearing the red jersey is on my shoulders," Nibali said.
